Workshop

Our job as a workshop team is to first search for people who will be suitable to conduct a workshop for the TEDxYouth@Tokyo event, and then move onto contacting them to see whether they will be willing to do it for us or not. It is a hard process in coming to an agreement since many of them can be busy and we face difficulties trying to persuade them to do it for no profit. Once we have agreed upon the workshops, we each go on contacting one of the workshop hosts and continue with further meetings. We individually hold meetings or constantly keep in touch with the hosts until the day of the event so things like venues, equipment, and the content of the workshop is ready for the day.

Tech

Before the event during preparation time, the tech team is in charge of producing the PR video and keeping the website up to date. During the actual event we also work with audio mixers and cameras to let our audience from outside -watching online- have a comfortable viewing experience.
